Thanks Kezza I have been popping in to see you had posted so egar to hear your story. What an experience I can't believe your DH made it in time he would of kicked himself if he missed it. Thats a shame you could use your tens machine but I guess you didn't really need it in the end.
Hearing your story gave me goose bumps oooh.
Congrats on those little princesses I hope you can take them home soon but try and get some sleep while you can if you can, I know it must be hard not having them with you.
Did you stay in hospital for 6 to 7 days?????
Kezza!!! Congratulations! Thanks so much for sharing. And yes you did say wonderful!!! How glorious. I hope you're getting the hang of things and enjoying your little darlings.
Hi Shilo - welcome! I have twin boys on board - and C-section booked for 01 October, which will be 37w2d. I hope I keep them in that long!!!
Had an ob appt today - I'm measuring 32 weeks but each bub is within the acceptable / normal size for their date. Slightly small, but apparently perfectly within the normal range. But I have a proper growth/well-being scan next week so that will be more precise than the little scanner in the ob's rooms.
Hope all you other ladies are well, and that you're all taking care.
Sorry i have been MIA a bit lately.
Kezza it was so nice to read your story hope you and the girls are travelling along well would love to hear another update ....when you get a chance ha ha!
Hi azza - sounds like your scans are going along well.
Hi Jen and everyone else.
AFM - had ob appt and scan last Fri (18weeks) Unfortunately on of my boys is quite small - growth delay - they don't think it's TTTTS and fluid levels are good. It may turn out to be not an issue or it could turn into a really big one with no real solution. The smaller babies umbilical cord has connected right on the edge of the placenta and may not be getting good enough nutrients from it whereas the bigger one has joined on right smack bang in the middle. Anyway we won't know anything more til a scan Fri week (2 weeks post the other) there is nothing i can do apparently so just trying to rest eat up and not stress - easier said than done hey!
Thinking of you Bella. I think it's best that they can tell that now and keep an eye on things. That means they can take action if need. I know you must be stressed.
But let me tell you a good news story about this exact thing. My little sisters (now 30, so not that little) are twins. My mum didn't even know she was having twins until the second one was born. The first one was actually born stillborn and very very very tiny (not much bigger than a biro - there is the most heartwrenching photo of her in my dad's hand, and her whole body fits in it), but they revived her - three times! Today, she is a perfectly normal and healthy adult with two little munchkins of her own.
Apparently something very similar had happened. She wasn't getting nutrition from the placenta, and hte only way they knew that was when mum delivered the placenta and they could see what was going on.
So what I'm saying is that you have all the advantages of modern medicine and testing now. And if that kind of miracle can happen 30 yrs ago without it, then I am sure you have a much better chance of them being able to manage the situation and make early enough decisions to do what needs to be done.
Bella 14 more shifts that does sound like much at all you must be so excited Whaoo your nearly 20 weeks hows you tummy, growing nicely I hope. Hope your scan goes well on Friday let us know how your little one is going hope they are sharing the nutrience properly. Hope work isn't to stressful but at least you have something to look forward to.
I had a scan on Wednesday and the were worried about the fluid level and the size of the bubs I think there might be 200grms difference between the 2, I had to go back on Friday and see a specialist (well not sure if he is a specialist) but has a lot of experience with TTTTS he doesn't seem to think its TTTTS at the moment but said it does have early signs of it and it can happen every quickly with in a week so now I am having 2 scans a week for a while. Now I am really hung for the 25 weeks mark, He also told me if it does settle down then I have to fly to brisbane to have lazer surgery to seperate the placentas but hopefully it wont come to that. Other then that the boys are so energetic bopping around in there its so cute my tummy looks like a something from alien when they are kicking around.
Jen what a great story that is amazing oh Congrats on the BOYS
